Chapter 170 Trust
Upon arriving at the pavilion on the high platform, Wei Chaoyan and his group of eight enjoyed a pleasant and relaxed lunch. After their meal, they chatted and laughed for a while before finally heading home for a leisurely afternoon rest.
After lunch break, Wei Ying and the others returned to the examination hall to continue their unfinished exams, while Wei Chaoyan remained quietly watching and keeping them company in their usual spot. As soon as the exams ended, Wei Chaoyan would always stand at the exit with a smile to greet the weary students as they slowly emerged, and they would go home to rest together. This continued the same way the next day and the day after.
The three-day exam finally came to an end. As usual, Wei Chaoyan saw off the group of research fanatics led by Li Yingxiang and Yu Ying, the seven new teachers, and Zhao Yumin and the other two, leaving the study space before leading the three Wei family members to bid a reluctant farewell to Lan Zhan.
Same time, same place, same expression formula! Wei Chaoyan held Qingyan's little hand and stood side by side with Qiye. The three of them stared at Wei family's rascal Yingtai Ying in perfect unison, watching how she was acting coquettishly and foolishly entangled with Lan family's cabbage Shanbo Zhan, staging a ridiculous scene of tearful farewell.
Time ticked by, but Wei Ying and Lan Zhan still hadn't stopped their lovey-dovey act. The three onlookers, however, didn't want to watch their sweet talk any longer, so Wei Chaoyan finally spoke up.
"You two, that's enough!" Wei Chaoyan released Qingyan's hand, took a few steps forward, stretched out her arm and grabbed Wei Ying by the back of his collar. With a black line on her face, she dragged Wei Ying, whose neck was being choked, unable to struggle, and simply gave up and relaxed her limbs, her body stiff like a human-shaped rag doll as her older sister dragged her back.
Seeing this, Lan Zhan couldn't help but step forward, reaching out to rescue Wei Ying from Wei Chaoyan's clutches, while disapprovingly saying, "Sister! Wei Ying will be very uncomfortable if you lift him like that!"
Wei Chaoyan instantly stepped between the two, blocking Lan Zhan's outstretched hand. She pushed the person she was holding toward Qi Ye, giving him a look that said, "Keep an eye on him and don't let him cause any more trouble." Then, with a gentle smile amidst the dark aura, she said, "Ah Zhan, there's not much time left. Let's not dawdle any longer, okay?"
She leaned over and patted Lan Zhan's meticulously tied hair bun, her smile fading as she said seriously, "Sister has some things she wants to consult you on."
Seeing that Wei Ying's figure was completely obscured by Wei Chaoyan, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lan Zhan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Seeing Wei Chaoyan's serious expression and solemn tone, saying that she had something to discuss, he looked up and stared at her intently, waiting for her to continue.
Wei Chaoyan put one hand on Lan Zhan's shoulder and used the other hand to pull Wei Ying and the other two to her front. She lowered herself down to look them in the eye and recounted her conversation with Li and Yu verbatim, without any deletions or additions. She also conveyed the concerns, considerations, and difficulties of the Huaguo government to the three people in front of her.
After uttering the last word, Wei Chaoyan turned around and stood up straight. "Aying, Qiye, Azhan, what do you think about this? It's up to you to decide."
"Sister? You can decide these things, we'll all listen to you." Wei Ying said matter-of-factly, tilting his little head up. Qi Ye and Lan Zhan nodded in agreement.
"..." Wei Chaoyan was speechless. She sighed sadly, drew a small circle in front of her chest with her hands, and said softly, "You see, my vision is only as big as this small circle, while your future is the infinite universe. How can I place your future in the hands of someone like me?"
"Sister...!" x3
The three men couldn't bear to see Wei Chaoyan belittle herself like this, and they shouted loudly.
Wei Chaoyan blinked hard, hiding the disappointment in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't overthink it! I'm not feeling inferior, I'm just stating a fact!"
“You will surely soar like eagles, rising to the highest heavens and roaming the boundless universe! The world you see is different from the world I see! In ordinary matters, your elder sister would make decisions for you without even asking you a single question, but,” Wei Chaoyan said solemnly, “what I just relayed to you is a country’s attitude and considerations towards you, and how you respond and handle it is a game of negotiation and compromise between you and the country! On this matter, your elder sister is not in a position to express her opinion or make decisions!”
The three remained silent, staring intently at Wei Chaoyan's unusually serious face.
Wei Chaoyan looked at the three children in front of her, who looked no more than five or six years old but whose minds were already approaching those of adults, with a look of satisfaction as if they were adults. Her earnest tone revealed her unwavering trust in them: "You're all grown up now. I believe you can make your own important decisions and handle them perfectly!"
"So, from now on, keep what your sister just said in mind, go back and think it over carefully! After you've made a decision, let your sister know, and she will then convey your thoughts to the leaders through Sister Liu Yu!"
"Alright! Since you trust me so much, how could I let you down? Hehe, watch me!" Wei Ying patted his tender little chest and made a confident promise.
"Don't worry, sister, I will deal with these issues seriously and carefully!" Qi Ye's gentle smile faded, and she answered seriously.
"I will certainly take it seriously!" Lan Zhan replied succinctly and forcefully, his expression unchanged.
Seeing the somewhat solemn atmosphere, Wei Chaoyan rolled her eyes and quickly changed the subject: "Well, well, we've finished talking about serious things, now it's time to talk about something less serious, hehe..."
"...??" The three looked completely bewildered.
"Go!" With that, Wei Chaoyan pointed at Lan Zhan, summoned 001 to send him out of the space, and then closed her eyes and logged off with the three treasures of the Wei family.
With a flash of white light, the five figures vanished instantly, leaving only Wei Ying's furious shouts echoing in the same spot.
"Aaaaaah! You stinky older sister, you ambushed me! Lan Zhan! Remember to turn on your communication talisman when you get back! Don't forget... don't forget... don't forget!!!"
